To determine the distance to an event, position the cursor at the beginning of the event and read off the distance as shown below. Vp=72% Z=100Ω 413ft On the fault curve shown in the previous two screens, a low impedance event occurs at 210 ft, shown by a downward spike on the curve, and a high impedance event occurs at 413 ft. The open end of the cable is shown as a large positive spike This is used to determine the end (length) of the cable.
